Firstgear Carbon Fiber Gauntlets Very comfy, good protection have no vibration problems

This is one of my only two complaints about this bike. In first gear, especially, it is a really testy critter when you try to keep up some consistent throttle at very slow speeds(like going through a 15mph hairpin) My advice is to use 2nd gear for practically everything except getting off the...

I apologize to those who have heard this over and over, but for those of you who are new to this bike you'd better perk up your eyes and put a fresh floppy in your head so you'll remember this. THE BUSA WILL FALL OFF OF THE SIDE STAND. It is a design flaw. There are several fixes for this, the...

oh brother, I'm so average 34 been doin it since 1990 when I had the most evil bike...yamaha seca(1980). Had to park on the top of a hill or I'd never get it running! I've found that in 10 years I can handle the speed better than ever, but the corners make me pucker more!

hottie female police officers???

Mr Bear, And what's wrong with a little posing?

1980 yamaha seca i can still remember dropping it in the parking lot of the dealership the day i bought it. just think about that for a minute when you consider buying a busa as a first bike. it's bunches heavier.

Fix the fookin side stand you bloody morons!

MadMan, No matter what bike you get first, other than the busa, you'll end up wanting more power. Does that mean the busa is the right choice? Hardly. It means you learn how to ride safely and technically on something that won't punish you or cost too much when you wad it. Think of it like...

BRM, I only regret it when I think I'm not gonna get through a light at 2 a.m., punch it, and then almost wad it trying to make the turn beyond the light. So, maybe it isn't the purchase of the bike itself, but the periodic realization that I really have to be 100% focused to stay alive while...

Cisco, Do you have braided lines on your bike? Glad you didn't get hurt. That's exactly the same thing that happened to me on the ramp from 17 to 85, only instead of cramming on the brakes (i was looking over my right shoulder to merge) I ended up shooting VERY wide to the left and out of...

It was purely a visual issue.

Commuting milage: 30-32 mpg Touring milage: 45-51 mpg Touring speeds range from about 75-90 mph One thing I noticed... Wind makes a BIG difference. On the same route, with a HEAVY crosswind(28-35 mph) my milage was down around 45, but when the wind was negligible, I was up around 50-51. Speeds...

A tad over 190 indicated

I can't really imagine a NEED to carry a firearm while riding unless you intend to start trouble and have the firepower to back it up. That would, of course, place you firmly in the total jack-off catagory. On a side note, keeping your firearm in/on your bike in the event of an attempted...
